There's no other name so sweet as Jesus,
No one ever cared so much for me;
As to shed His precious blood to save me,
No one ever cared so much for me.
When I see Him face to face up in Glory,
I will bow at His nailed scarred feet;
And I'll thank Him for the pain He suffered,
Because He cared so much for me.
There's no one who cares like Jesus,
There's no friend so precious to me;
Who would carry a cross up to Calvary,
No one ever cared so much for me.

The story of Christ's death is the Gospel the world needs. It illustrates His caring. If every craving heart could comprehend the richness of Christ's love at Calvary, the ills of humanity would be resolved. Lust and greed, school shootings, abortions and euthanasia could become a part of the past.
Trigger locks, metal detectors, more police on the streets, stricter laws, larger U.N. forces in foreign countriesãall pale in comparison to what can be accomplished through a realization of how much Christ loves each person.
So how is this love going to be revealed? Christ came, gave, loved and died, and is now sitting at the Father's right hand. Is it not now up to us who know the love of the Savior? Is it not our responsibility to let His love be seen in our lives by all with whom we come in contact? If God's children fail to carry a concern for people on every continent, in every nation, in every community, in every home, how will others know how much He cares for them?
Friends, there is good news to share. Let us be happy and faithful in doing it.
On April 10, my wife Mary and I are scheduled to leave for a visit to the Philippines. Much work is being done there by Bro. Matias Tangunan and other ministers to strengthen established churches, as well as to begin new works. We consider it a privilege to go and fellowship the saints there and personally experience what is taking place.
Your prayers for a safe and profitable trip are coveted.
We are receiving more requests for tracts than what we are able to provide with our present work force here at the Print Shop. We are in need of another pressman. As a result, we are putting out a call for someone to come and help us, preferably an individual who already has experience in the printing trade. We are seeking God to provide a worker with a fervent love for souls and the cause of Christ.
If God should burden you to fulfill this need, please let me hear from you soon.
Your brother in Christ, ãWayne Murphey
